Everything Everything

Everything Everything formed in Manchester in 2007, Jonathan Higgs, Jeremy Pritchard, Alex Robertshaw, and Michael Spearman developing a sound that drew on art rock, electronic music, and R&B in ways that felt genuinely new. Higgs's falsetto vocals and densely layered lyrics — anxious, politically engaged, and full of cultural references — were immediately distinctive.

'Man Alive' (2010) was a remarkable debut — complex, restless, and full of ideas. 'Arc' (2013) and 'Get to Heaven' (2015) developed their sound further, with 'Get to Heaven' in particular being a record of considerable emotional and political power. 'A Fever Dream' (2017) was their most critically acclaimed record, shortlisted for the Mercury Prize and widely regarded as their masterpiece.

Everything Everything have continued to release albums of consistent quality, with Higgs's songwriting growing in ambition and emotional range. 'Raw Data Feel' (2022) showed them still pushing their sound in new directions. They are one of the most consistently interesting British bands of their generation — never settling, always developing, always worth paying attention to. ⚠ Flag: post-2022 activity — verify any releases since 'Raw Data Feel'.
